Maths is a subject that underpins all engineering and science disciplines. Maths is used in almost every profession, from physics to artificial intelligence. The EduHeal Foundation makes several attempts to familiarise school kids with maths. To accomplish so, we must make learning enjoyable, remove the fear of arithmetic, and clearly communicate to them the importance of basic maths knowledge in today’s economy.

Consistent thinking, basic reasoning, imaginative reasoning, dynamic or spatial reasoning, critical thinking capacity, and surprisingly viable relationship abilities are all tested in the Maths Olympiad. These tests allow you to find your child’s secret potential and power. In this article, we will discuss the NIMO Exam 2022 in detail.

National EduHeal Level 1 Exam
For the current session, the Level 1 exam will be administered online. These assessments will take place in schools during the morning hours, and students must bring their admit cards. On the EduHeal official website, students can look for books, study resources, and NIMO Olympiad sample papers. In the arts and general knowledge Olympiads, there is no Level 2. In addition, there is no charge for Levels 2 and 3. NIMO Level 1 is also available as a computer-based exam. Only paper-based exams are available to students in grades 1 to 3, whereas computer-based (online) exams are available to students in grades 4 to 12.
EduHeal Level 2 Exam (International)
Selected students, i.e. successful school toppers, will take an online/computer-based test in mid-February at testing centres across India. There will be interactive questions on these assessments. The syllabus for the NIMO exam will be the same as it was in level one.
EduHeal Level 2 (Sponsored)
Level 3 EduHeal NIMO tests are conducted by EduHeal Level 2-Sponsored Sponsors or connected organisations. These may be of a local, national, or international scope. Level 2 winners are chosen for Online International Olympiad training camps, where they will be tutored in preparation for the Harvard-MIT maths tournament’s project-based competitions.

NIMO Result
Many Olympiads are held by the EduHeal Foundation, each with multiple levels of examination (paper-based exams have three levels, and computer-based exams have two levels). As a result, the results of each level are announced at various times. The results of the EduHeal NIMO exam are normally released two to three weeks after the exam. Students should retain their EduHeal NIMO 2022 admit card and NIMO exam registration information on hand because they will need to submit details, such as enrollment numbers, to access their results.
Tips for NIMO Preparation
The National Interactive Maths Olympiad preparatory recommendations are listed below.
- Getting a decent exam result requires a lot of practice. Only practise accounts for 70% of the NIMO preparation.
- Unlike sample papers, mock tests have a time limit. Students can practise this not only to see how well they understand the curriculum but also to see how quickly they can solve problems.
- Students can talk to their teachers or classmates to get answers to their questions.
- The books that students utilise on a regular basis in school are the best resource for studying. Other materials, such as NCERT books or other reference books recommended by the exam administration, are also available to students.
- Keep review notes in the notebook as students go over a formula or topic.
